'''BRUCE'S MARCH [1]'''. AKA and see "The Star of Bethlehem," "Caledonian March," "Dirge of the Berlin (Pa.) Band,"  "Loch Na Gar [1]," "Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine [1]" (infrequently). American, March. USA, Southwestern Pa. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune is apparently Scottish, according to Bayard, but he was unable to trace it. Some forms of the tune were used for shape-note hymns. "Bruce's March" was a local title from southwestern Pennsylvania, perhaps from a local musician or from Bruce & Emmett's fife tutor.
